The goal of this project was to make a pen plotter for as inexpensively as possible, and to learn about XY machines. 

This is a render of the design I settled on. The machine uses a T-bot belt configuration, which is a bit similar to CoreXY except that the machine doesn't need a frame around the work area.

On the left is the fully assembled and mostly wired machine. On the right is a self portrait that it drew. Overall I would say the project was a success. I am especially happy with the effectiveness of the almost entirely 3D printed design.
